TCD Interview With Zo

This last week, I had a chance to interview Alfonzo Rachel (better known as "Zo"), the owner of Machosauce Productions. Most of us have gotten a chance to see a few of his great videos, but I thought it'd be great to find out a little more about him.

To fix the confusion, I'm in green and Zo is in blue.

Zo, love your vids, just wanted to ask ya a few questions here. What got ya interested in politics, specifically conservatism?

I'd have to say liberals did. I'd witness their cynicism, and how they find fault with everything, yet justify the very things that contribute to us going down. I got sick of 'em, and just started rebelling against their know it all, elitist, condescending, cynical, disposition!

can see that. Kind of hit me the same way back in 2001 when a lot of them turned their back on the country even after the September 11 attacks. Living in California you must see that a lot, huh?

Yeah, they're out here for true. In their eyes America had it coming. Funny, they don't seem to think they have it coming. Just everybody else!

Oh they will. The buyer's remorse over Obama seems to be happening bigger and faster than expected. But why do you think so many fell for his empty platitudes and "hope n' change" rhetoric in the first place?

The country hasn't learned how to grow up. There are more and more of us growing up without fathers teaching their kids how to be men, and women, and single mothers who struggle to make ends meet, and can hardly teach their kids what it takes to grow up either.

Looks to me like the country is in a state of arrested development, mentally, emotionally, and spiritual. This syndrome makes our elections more like a presidential election for a middle school.

Obama was the cool kid, who promised, more soda machines, no school uniforms, longer recess, less homework, etc. Hypnotize them to ignore the consequences.

Liberals want America to be represented by someone cool, and mysterious, and they wanted to look enlightened and be vindicated that they were opened minded enough to vote for a black man. Obama was just the black man they wanted. One the elites could control. Al sharpton is a lap dog for the democrats, but he would have been more likely to chew off his leash.

I see your point. It seems like quite a few people like Peggy Joseph, who wanted Obama to pay for her mortgage and fill her gas tank canceled out our votes just so they can have "Big Daddy Gub'mint" take care of them, although we had a lackluster candidate on our side who was picked by the New York Times. If only the ticket was flipped to read Palin-McCain.

So let me ask you, even thought I caught a few of your first vids on MySpace last year, when did you decide to go and do the whole V-log (video blogging) thing and why instead of just regular blogging?

Yup, he definitely appealed to the gimme gimme culture fo' true! We did have a lackluster candidate didn't we? Yet despite the perfect storm Obama had of a failing economy (that started goin' down hill like a car with Rosie O at the wheel and a heavy tail wind when the democrats gained the majority) a heavily protested war, (which would go a lot more in our military's favor if liberals would just get out of the way) allllllllllll the dazzle he got from Hollywood, and all the favoritism he got from the media, he still ONLY got 52% of the vote!

That was just against John Mccain. Which means Sarah Palin would have put a hurtin' on Barry!

I Vlog instead of blog because I more so feel I can convey my perspective more penetratingly that way than with blogging.

I've noticed you've gotten quite popular around the blogosphere. Frank J over at IMAO's got posts up with your vids, Hot Air has taken notice. And I also hear ya got a book coming out. Congrats on all that. Got a little sneak peek you can give us here?

Shout out to Big Frankie J! One of the 1st bloggers to give a brotha some play! Hotair playin' my vids is really exciting too. Michelle rocks, what what!!!

Yes sir, I'm tryin' my hand at a book! I'm thinkin' I may self publish it. Sure, I'll give a sneak peak. And then you can give me a sneak peak into if it sucks or not!

Excerpt from Introduction:

How is it that Conservatives keep getting dusted by liberals? The liberal ideology is so deficient in redeeming value y'all. We should be able to drop kick liberalism into the land of missing sock mates. It's as if they all sold their souls to the Devil to be able to beat us with nothing. The celebration of the equal sharing of misery is about all they give people to look forward to. It's a fist pumping fest against the republicans, the corporations, the military, the Church, and America. HEY HEY... HO HO... Fill in the blank has got to go!

Well, it's been great talking with ya, man. I wanna thank ya for all that ya do, and keep up the good work, bro. I'm sure we'll all be looking forward to what Machosauce has in the future.

You bet.

And for those who have yet to see it, here's Zo's new video again lambasting the libs on embryonic stem cells and thanking his supporters.

Friday The 13th Funny

Can We Call Carville Unpatriotic?

With the libs piling on Rush on his quote that he wanted Obama to fail, we have this from Fox News:

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: "I certainly hope he doesn't succeed."

Carville was joined by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who seemed encouraged by a survey he had just completed that revealed public misgivings about the newly minted president.

"We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have about him, and I'm wanting them to turn against him," Greenberg admitted.

The pollster added with a chuckle of disbelief: "They don't want him to fail. I mean, they think it matters if the president of the United States fails."

Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the reporters, Carville announced: "Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!"

The press followed Carville's orders, never reporting his or Greenberg's desire for Bush to fail. The omission was understandable at first, as reporters were consumed with chronicling the new war on terror. But months and even years later, the mainstream media chose to never resurrect those controversial sentiments, voiced by the Democratic Party's top strategists, that Bush should fail.

This from the guy who is leading the charge against Limbaugh for saying what he said. Needless to say, Carville didn't realize that sometimes statements you make come back to bite you in the ass. Golum's stunt double had said what he said for political gain. Limbaugh actually cares about the country and what happens to it. He could give a flying flip about polls, unlike this snake oil salesman.

Big giant hat tip to Jammie Wearing Fool.

Bend Over Here It Comes Again

Rush was right (as always). The Dims are planning a secondary Porkulus act as part of the grand plan of The Rape The Economy Act of 2009.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi opened the door to the possibility of another stimulus plan — or bank rescue — following a Tuesday meeting with dozens of Democratic members that was attended by a panel of four prominent economists.

Mark Zandi, the chief economist for Moody’s Economy.com, told reporters after the meeting that the $787 billion stimulus package signed into law in February might not be the last move by Congress to deploy taxpayer money to save the economy.

“Another stimulus package is a reasonable possibility,” said Zandi, a key consultant for Democrats on the economic stimulus packaged (PL 111-5), cleared by the Senate Feb. 15. And, he added, “more money for the banking system is likely, very likely.”

Asked by a reporter if she agreed with Zandi’s assessment, Pelosi said: “I do.”

Actually, this would be the 4th "stimulus" bill, but who's counting, right? I mean, it's only OUR money that they are spending like there's no tomorrow.

Malice Or Stupidity?

One of the blogs I frequent quite often is V the K's other blog (besides the hilarious Caption This!), The Resistance. Personally, I really like the thought out political insight mixed with South Park picture references. But he had a post the other day that really rang out. Is B. Hussein Obama this stupid or is it on purpose? You decide.

In less than 60 days, Chairman Zero has:

* Quadrupled the Federal Deficit.
* Set the National Debt to increase by more than all previous presidents.
* Tanked the Dow worse than any previous president
* Put a tax cheat in charge of the Treasury Department
* Had three presidential appointees drop out because they were also tax cheats.
* Designated almost a billion dollars to help Hamas wage war on Israel.
* Halted domestic energy exploration (a huge gift to the Saudis, Iranians, and Venezuelans, since crude oil is now up $10 a barrel from its December low point).
* Insulted the Prime Minister of Great Britain with cheap, crappy gifts.
* Had his Secretary of State embarrass us with stupidity and incompetence.
* Picked a fight with a talk radio host… and lost.

Some say that this is just the bumbling incompetence of a community organizer who is in way, way, way over his head. Others say that Bill Ayer’s and Jeremiah Wright’s prize pupil is deliberately out to make America a poorer and weaker country; either because he truly believes it would be fairer if America were no better, no different, no richer, no stronger than any of the Earth’s other countries, or because he thinks we need to be punished for past sins of a racist nature.

The question for his cult is, is this because Chairman Zero is incompetent, or is this his intended result?

My personal opinion, a little from column A, a little from column B.

8:45 AM Brownshirt Meeting

From a very interesting article over at Politico, we see that Obama and his henchmen have a phone meeting at 8:45 each morning to discuss which person or group they want to go after to smear.

The vast new left-wing conspiracy sets its tone every morning at 8:45 a.m., when officials from more than 20 labor, environmental and other Democratic-leaning groups dial into a private conference call hosted by two left-leaning Washington organizations.

The “8:45 A.M. call,” as it’s referred to by members, began three weeks ago, and it marks a new level in coordination by the White House’s allies at a time when the conservative opposition is struggling for a toe-hold and major agenda items like health care reform appear closer than ever to passage.

The call has helped attempts to link the Republican Party to radio host Rush Limbaugh, and has served as the launching ground for attacks on critics of Obama’s policy proposals. It springs from a recognition of what was lacking in the Clinton years, said Jennifer Palmieri, the senior vice president for communications at the (leftist) Center for American Progress Action Fund, one of the groups hosting the call.

“[CAP President John] Podesta’s and my experience was in the White House during the Clinton years, and we didn’t have a coordinated echo chamber on the outside backing us up,” she said. “There’s a real interest on the progressive side for groups to want to coordinate with each other and leverage each other’s work in a way I haven’t ever seen before.”

Yes, they do have an echo chamber. It's called the media. But now you have the leftists organizations coordinating with the White House like George Soros's Media Matters and Center for (un)American Progress. They are working very hard to destroy talk radio and set a leftist agenda unlike any we've seen even under Jimmy Carter.

This is who is running the country now. The environut, Marxist, no growth smear merchants of the left are working with the administration to go after those that speak out against the Moonbat Messiah. We saw it during the campaign when they went after those like Joe The Plumber and Stanley Kurtz. And we're seeing it happening now with Rush Limbaugh, Rick Santelli, and others.

Makes me wonder what that whole "Civilian National Security Force" will be all about.

Obama Hates Babies Part 73

The Obamessiah has a proven track record that he has a vendetta against the unborn again and again even voting 4 times for out and out infanticide. This week, he has signed an executive order lifting the ban on federal funding on embryonic stem cell "research" that Bush had put in place in 2001.

Thing is, if embryonic stem cell research is so wonderful, why haven't the private investors put their money into it? Because it's produced little to no results. Adult stem cells have paved the way for a myriad of cures, and nobody had to destroy life to do it. It's not just on the pro-life side , but it's on the side of the free market.

Gateway Pundit had dug up a little tidbit from the election in regards to 0bama's stance on life. During the campaign, the contemptible George Soros had created a 527 called "Pro-Life Obama" in a deceitful bid to gain more voters who hold anti-abortion views.




NoBama is more pro abortion than NARAL it seems. Since the Immaculate Inauguration, he has signed executive orders (rather than putting them up for a vote) making sure we taxpayers fund abortions worldwide and force doctors with moral obligations against abortions to perform them, a large step toward tyranny over the medical institution. Not to mention his stance on the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, in which after a botched abortion, a baby would be cared for rather than discarded like trash. Here is the Moonbat Messiah defending his position.

"Essentially adding an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision..."

I could go on for hours about Obama and abortion, but the fact of the matter is that if he has these views for the unborn, what is it going to be like when we have nationwide Obamacare in medicine? I shudder to think.

UPDATE: Apparently B. Hussein Obama was too stupid to know that as of Wednesday, he reinforced the funding ban on embryonic stem cell research! HAHA!
This just goes to show even with the big liberal government policies, he still doesn't read anything before he signs it. Hopefully the GOP takes my advice and puts another bill in front of him repealing the 787 billion dollar Rape The Economy Bill, or at least give some funds to protecting our border and more for our military.

Chicago Democrat Unhinged

The arrogance and flat out snobbery of today's Dimocrap party has many voters holding rallies in the streets protesting their policies as we've seen with the nationwide "Tea Parties".

And this from Michelle Malkin:

A Chicago taxpayer went to his 22nd Ward alderman, Ricardo Munoz, to protest the Democrat’s support for tax-increment financing. (I reported years ago on how these “public-private partnership” scams siphon off tax dollars to subsidize developers/builders who then reward politicians with big campaign donations.) The constituent wants to present Alderman Munoz with a petition.

Munoz physically shoves the voter and yells: “Get the f**k out of my office!”

Liberals in office hold the common voter in contempt, as also seen here with Charlie Rangel telling Jason Mattera of the Young American Foundation "Mind Your Own Goddamn Business" (Does somebody wanna get Rangel a Ricola? Sounds like his throat is embedded with sandpaper when he talks!)

This is your (leftist) government at work, people. So much for honest, open, and ethical government.

TCD Open Challenge

I usually don't watch much tv aside from sports and Fox's 24 and I never would have heard about this show or seen this clip if not for Moonbattery.

Watch the video and if you make it 30 seconds without hating these snobby stick up the ass liberals... I owe you a free Coke.



Not surprising, there is a website devoted to hating this man already. Can't say I blame them.

Obama Foreign Policy In Action

We (at least the non-Obamunist drones out there) knew that with an Obama presidency, the United States would not only be in trouble socially, economically, but most importantly dealing with foreign policy. Even that dimwit Joe "Plugs" Biden knew that Nobama would be "tested". This from Fox News.

North Korea ordered its armed forces on standby and warned Monday it will retaliate against anyone seeking to block its planned satellite launch, which many fear will disguise a missile test.

The threat was the North's latest attempt to escalate tensions on the divided peninsula and a strong sign that the communist nation intends to push ahead with the launch despite mounting international pressure to drop the plan. Analysts say Pyongyang is trying to grab President Barack Obama's attention as his administration formulates its North Korea policy.

Needless to say we wouldn't have this problem if it wasn't for blunders by the Dimotwits to begin with. Without our intervention, the Commies couldn't make Jell-O, let along build a nuclear missile.

But we're apparently going to let Kim Jon Mentally Il push us around and just have discussions with them just as Obama is opening up talks with former enemies Iran and Syria and even trying to woo "moderates" in the Taliban (the same "moderates" that beat women, burn shops, and believe in Sharia Law?).



This is Presidential Amateur Hour at its worse. Obambi is even catering to the Marxists in Cuba and the old Marxists in Russia by making our allies in Europe defenseless against ICBMs. All this with a Coward in Chief who has less than 100 days in office. When the liberal drones whined that the "world hated us" under Bush, at least they feared us. If Obama viewed those who seek to destroy America the same way he views Rush Limbaugh, Jim Kramer, and Rick Santelli... we wouldn't cower to these rouge nations and America would be safe.

Friday's Funny: Dogs

Last Friday, I did cats, now it's A Dog Day Friday. The video's not that long, but it is pretty funny. Enjoy.

Mark Levin Vs. David Frum

Pseudo-conservative David Frum had written a smear article denouncing Rush Limbaugh and not just his speech at CPAC, but everything from his marriages to his physical appearance. Frum appears to be angry that the GOP isn't what it used to be. I agree with that, but when you get down much deeper, that's when it's time to disagree when it gets down to principle.

What Mr. Frum wants is more "reaching across the aisle" and basically caving into the Dimotwits. That is NOT what is going to make a Republican majority. As I've said before in the last couple posts, if more politicians like McLame, Arlen Specter, et all, actually listened to Limbaugh and took his advice, we wouldn't be in the mess we are today and actually growing a pair when it comes to protecting our country and saving future generations from massive debt.

Talk show host Mark Levin took Mr. Frum to task when he called into his show after Mark called him out the previous day. Listen to the mp3 at the link and you'll hear how immature and childish Frum seems when trying to debate. At least Frum had the temporary cojones to call in and try to debate Levin. I can give him that much, and we'll see if The Messiah takes on Rush in the same way, or can he not do it without a Teleprompter?

Just look at the Frum hit piece, listen to the audio (about 30 minutes long), and see exactly where our party shouldn't be. Frum appears to want to handcuff the conservative movement and have us give in to Chairman Zero and his ilk. I would have turned his mic down too with him babbling on like that.


UPDATE: I guess David Frum had written a new piece on his debate with Levin. The guy comes off as a whiner that needs to go back and hide behind his wife's skirt. "WAAAH! Rachel Mannow never screamed at me!" I never watch PMSNBC, so I don't know what he's talking about having a debate with...um, her But he goes on.

As I hung up, I wondered what it would be like to be a new listener, a nonpolitical person, tuning in to Mark Levin’s show for the first time. The ferocious hatred and anger – the shouting at people not present to reply, the self-pitying complaints against a world that does not pay enough respect: it’s an ugly performance.

First off, a "non-political person" would more than likely be listening to FM Top 40 radio than AM news talk radio so that blows that out of the water right there. Secondly, Mark's passion and demeanor is what keeps most of us 5.5 million listeners there every night! Mr. Frum, you're a disgrace. You might as well join the dummies at Democratic Underground.

Zo's Got Another One

In the new "Zo" video, he talks about his time at CPAC and really hammers the Left after the Commie News Network commented that Rush Limbaugh is "The New Hitler".



One commenter on Zo's new YouTube video has a point though... how in the bloody hell DID D.L. Hughley get his own show on CNN?

Also, you might want to check out the Machosauce shop for some cool shirts. I got mine last week and it looks great.

Leftists Rush To Attack

For the last month, Rush Limbaugh has been under attack for saying that he "wants Obama to fail". (How dare him criticize our glorious leader!! - Liberal Mode)

What the leftists don't understand is that it's not that Limbaugh wants Obama to fail personally, he (and the rest of America that's growing tired of the Obamamania) wants Obama's wrongheaded policies on the economy, foreign policy, energy, etc. to fail, which it is. Oil is going back up over 2 bucks a gallon, the stock market is taking a nosedive under 7,000, and our enemies are laughing at us. Why is that so controversial?

The liberals even put RNC chairman Michael Steele under the bus to get him to browbeat Limbaugh as seen in this clip on... well, whatever show this is on CNN (read Commie News Network) where D.L. Hughley, who is not funny unless he's trying to be the black Don Rickles, and some other doofus are making Steele submit to denouncing Rush.



Steele apologized the next day saying that "It was one of those things where I thinking I was saying one thing, and it came out differently. What I was trying to say was a lot of people … want to make Rush the scapegoat, the bogeyman, and he’s not."

Good on Steele for apologizing and realizing Rush isn't "the leader" of the GOP libs like Tim Kaine and Rahm Emanuel are saying. He is the voice of conservatism. Something the Republicans need to get back into if they have any hopes for gaining seats in the House and Senate in 2010.

By the way, if you want to check out Rush's whole CPAC speech, Digger's Realm has all 10 clips. I suggest even if you're not the biggest Limbaugh fan (I prefer Mark Levin myself) just check the speech out.

Hat tip to Cao.

Bobby Jindal on 60 Minutes

Watch CBS Videos Online

Morley Safer of 60 Minutes introduces Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal as an "awkward young man", "not ready for primetime" who gave it his all up against "the greatest political orator the country has seen in ages". Even though this piece is oozing over the edges with liberal bias, Jindal shines when he is off script and talking to average Americans. The governor also reveals that he has no secret plan to run against Obama in 2012. Too bad there.


Hat tip to The Conservative Resistance.

Taxpayer's Clearing House Winners.

Hilarious. But there is truth to this. Think you're gonna reap the rewards of your measly 13 dollars a week? Think again. The "bailouts" attached with the stimulus is costing the taxpayers 11.6 TRILLION dollars.

But Right.org is having a contest where you can at least break even on your debt. They are having a video contest for anybody to say "No" to the bailouts and win 27,599 dollars.

Friday's Funny

No post, just this. Just a little something to digress from the stress and madness of the politics of today. I'll be doing this every Friday to keep us laughing during the weekend. Enjoy the cats.

The Depression President

Mark Levin says it best when he gives the moniker "The Depression President" to Barack Milhouse Nobama.

Since the Acension of the Moonbat Messiah, the S&P has fallen almost 24%. Not to mention since 0bama overtook McLame in the polls prior to the election, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has dropped 3,143 points (as of today). Not to mention the federal deficit is looking to more than triple this year alone!



The market works better than any poll Rasmussen, Gallup, or USA Today can come up with. This measures how the private sector views certain issues that would hurt or help the American economy.

Doug Ross has quite a few posts up regarding labeling Obama as the Depression President with a whole load of links and evidence. This is a spectacular event we're witnessing here. We're watching an economy hurtling downward towards its demise. Go give it a look and show it to your moonbat friends who still hang on to "hope n' change" and ask them if meaningless platitudes and robbing from the treasury are worth one penny let alone fix the recession.

Tell Him What You Think

What Obama Means To Me

So go say what you think already. What's really funny is through 6 or 7 pages of comments already only one Obamunist commenter!


UPDATE: I guess as of 11:00 AM CST this morning there are a couple more lemmings at that site. I gave them something to think about though.

What Obama means to Atomic Lib Smasher
Illinois, USA - 26 Feb 2009

To The Obamunists:

How do you defend 0bama's frivolous spending and giving crumbs of 13 bucks a week as a "tax cut"? How do you defend the fact that since 0bama got elected, the DOW has fallen 2,000 points? How do you defend 0bama saying we need to "rid our dependence on foreign oil", yet he repealed any hope of drilling in this country for our own oil? How do you defend the SCHIP bill that will tax cigarettes an extra 62 cents knowing that more people are going to quit due to high prices reducing any tobacco tax revenue to pay for the bill?

Some things to think about other than "HOPE AND CHANGE!", lemmings.

Obama VS. Jindal

While Nobama talked down America during his widely televised reading off the teleprompters, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal was talking up America, much to the chagrin of leftists everywhere who are aching for soup lines. Jindal has a faith in American entrepreneurship and was truly Reaganesque, whereas Obama was fear-mongering doom and gloom.

The opening of Jindal's speech: "We Believe Americans Can Do Anything."

That says it all. Here's a small transcript:

"A few weeks ago, the President warned that our nation is facing a crisis that he said ‘we may not be able to reverse.’ Our troubles are real, to be sure. But don’t let anyone tell you that we cannot recover — or that America’s best days are behind her.

This is the nation that cast off the scourge of slavery, overcame the Great Depression, prevailed in two World Wars, won the struggle for civil rights, defeated the Soviet menace, and responded with determined courage to the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The American spirit has triumphed over almost every form of adversity known to man — and the American spirit will triumph again.

We can have confidence in our future — because, amid today’s challenges, we also count many blessings: We have the most innovative citizens –the most abundant resources — the most resilient economy — the most powerful military — and the freest political system in the history of the world.

My fellow citizens, never forget: We are Americans. And like my Dad said years ago, Americans can do anything."

You can read the rest here.

No doubt the liberals are going to be going after Jindal with both barrels after his rebuttal address to The People. This man, if he puts his mind to it, and we can get some of the "independent" voters off the Obama Kool-Aid, has a very good chance of going after The Moonbat Messiah in 2012.

New Zo Video: Liberals Are Crybabies

Can't say I agree with the costume at the beginning of the video, but Zo (like always) has a point. Liberals are the ones who are the biggest crybabies whining for bigger government. In this vid, Zo makes examples out of Julio the beggar, those whining to bring back the (un)Fairness Doctrine, and the NAACP with the race pimp Al not-so Sharpton protesting about the stupid Travis the Chimp cartoon.

If you're down on your luck (like some people are right now), you don't need help from the government. Big Government will shrink and become less powerful if we show American gumption and pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and try to make a good life for ourselves and our families. The Democrats are the ones who rely on sniveling and whining and begging. "I need a kitchen, and a bathroom, and snow tires, free ringtones, and a jacuzzi!" If you want to rely on government for anything, rely on them cutting taxes, cutting back some regulations on businesses, drilling for our own oil, protecting the border, and quit spending money they don't have.

And if you want to help Zo, check out Machosauce Productions and buy a kick ass T-shirt. I already got mine. Just my way of stimulating the economy.

The Hangover After Obamania

Cao posts that Americans are coming to realize that they have bitten off more than they can chew with the 47 Year Old Political Virgin.

Within the first few weeks Obama’s devious promises for ‘transparency’ and “fairness” rang completely untrue. Obama’s administration is now rife with tax cheats, the Chicago Crime Syndicate and lobbyists. And his plan to take over the Census is another indication as to how much trouble we’re in with this usurper sitting in the Oval office that he hijacked.

Yes, according to polls at Rasmussen and Fox, a large majority of the people are uttering a simultaneous "Ruh-oh!" for electing President Hopey Changey. Let's hope they remember this by 2010.

Spicoli And Courage

I was expecting Mickey Rourke to win Best Actor for his comeback role in "The Wrestler" (which I've heard is a good movie, I have yet to watch it though). But this creep, Sean Penn, or as we call him here, Tokyo Spicoli, won for his portrayal of the gay congressman Harvey Milk in "Milk". Fast forward to 6:00 to the "You Commie Homo Son Of A Gun" opening. (Was Spicoli trying to be funny there? Fail)



Yes, true heroism is playing pretend for a living, banging skanks like Madonna, punching cameramen, burning cigarette holes in plastic dolls, going to hurricane ravaged New Orleans for failed photo-ops, and attending annual pat-ourselves-on-the-back fests with other liberal make-believers.

Also to add, does someone want to pass a note to Sean Penn backstage that maybe Obama needs a few minutes to "contemplate his great shame" instead of being so "elegant"? And if we wanted to be REAL courageous, when he took his little treason trip to Iran, he could have condemned the real uncivil treatment of gays there! We conservative Americans just don't want them to marry (I have nothing against civil unions or whatever they want to call it). There, according to Amanuttjob "there are no gays".... because they execute them.

The Most Terrifying Holes On Earth

Thought this was kind of neat, so I stole it from Doug Ross



Kimberley Big Hole - South Africa: Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world, this 1097 meter deep mine yielded over 3 tons of diamonds before being closed in 1914.



Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, California: This is the 'Glory Hole' at Monticello dam, and it's the largest in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second (note: a glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and water needs to be drained from the reservoir, not what you're thinking of).



Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah: This is supposedly the largest man-made excavation on earth. Extraction began in 1863 and still continues today, the pit increasing in size constantly. In its current state the hole is 0.75 miles deep and 2.5 miles wide and covering 1,900 acres.



Great Blue Hole, Belize: This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize. There are numerous blue holes around the world, but none as stunning as this one.



Mirny Diamond Mine, Serbia: I'm pretty sure most people have seen this one. It's an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mines in the world. At 525 meters deep, with a top diameter of 1200 meters, there's even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters having been sucked in.



Diavik Mine, Canada: The mine is so huge and the area so remote that it has its own airport with a runway large enough to accommodate a Boeing 737. It looks equally cool when the surrounding water is frozen.



Sinkhole in Guatemala: These photos are of a sinkhole that occurred in Guatemala. The hole swallowed a dozen homes and killed at least three people.



The most terrifying hole of all: This is the famous 'Rat Hole' that you've read so much about lately. It is capable of swallowing trillions upon trillions of U.S. dollars from the real economy each and every year. Most of that money is never seen again.

Why I Love Ann Coulter

She makes moonbat libs froth at the mouth with their craziness. Check the video.



Here's a transcript of a piece of the back and forth in which Blowhard attempts to put Ann in a bad light:

BEHAR: Do you think that people hate you?
COULTER: No. Not when I have seven "New York Times" best-sellers. No, I'm -- I'm very popular.
BEHAR: But you -- no, you can't have everybody love you. Not everybody loves you, Ann. People think that...
COULTER: You asked me if people hated me...
BEHAR: But you said because you sell books that makes you people -- that makes you think that people love you...
COULTER: I said that indicates to me that they do not hate me, which was the question, Joy.

Ann Coulter trying to discuss geo-political issues with raving moonbat Joy Behar is like trying to have an intelligent discussion with a rabid chihuahua on amphetamines.

Aussies' Flush Tax: Absolutley Craptastic

Soon to come to a liberal cesspool near you, Australia (which used to be a halfway conservative country) has adpoted a new "crap tax". From The Australian News:

Householders would be charged for each flush under a radical new toilet tax designed to help beat the drought.

The scheme would replace the current system, which sees sewage charges based
on a home's value - not its waste water output.

CSIRO Policy and Economic Research Unit member Jim McColl and Adelaide
University Water Management Professor Mike Young plan to promote the move to
state and federal politicians and experts across the country.

"It would encourage people to reduce their sewage output by taking shorter
showers, recycling washing machine water or connecting rainwater tanks to
internal plumbing to reduce their charges," Professor Young said.

"Some people may go as far as not flushing their toilet as often because the
less sewage you produce, the less sewage rate you pay."

Professor Young said sewer pricing needed to be addressed as part of the
response to the water crisis.

"People have been frightened to talk about sewage because it is yucky stuff,
but it is critically important to address it, as part of the whole water
cycle," he said.

"We are looking at reforming the way sewage is priced and this plan will
drive interest in the different ways water is used throughout Australia."

I guess Australians would not be allowed to have diarrhea if this goes through.

Obama Wants Swedish Model

No, Obama is not dumping Michelle Obama for Victoria Silvstedt (although it'd be a smart move). What is going on here is that Obama is contemplating dumping America's capitalism for Sweden's socialism and nationalization of banks.

From The UK's Financial Times:

Barack Obama, the president, who has tried to avoid panicking lawmakers and markets by entertaining the idea, has moved more towards what he calls the “Swedish model” – an approach backed strongly by Mr Graham. In the early 1990s Sweden nationalised its banking sector then auctioned banks having cleaned up balance sheets. “In limited circumstances the Swedish model makes sense for the US,” says Mr Graham.

Mr Obama last weekend made clear he was leaning more towards the Swedish model than to the piecemeal approach taken in Japan, which many would argue is the direction US public policy appears to be heading.

Even RePUBEics like Goober Lindsey Graham and John McLame had forgotten what the free market is about. Granted they didn't vote on the Rape The Economy Act of 2009 but this is just as bad. Even just toying around with the concept has the private sector in a panic.

As the economy spirals down towards ruin, any attempt to build it back up is deterred to make the federal government more powerful and to keep Americans dependent on Big Daddy Gub'Mint. Guess which political party this is going to keep in power for decades to come? Just ask the people of Venezuela what happens under nationalized everything.

Symbolism Over Substance

Found at Sweetness and light, they had a story about commemorative coins for the ascension of the Moonbat Messiah that turned out just to be stickers over a 50 cent piece.



Funny thing is that this is not the last fake from 0bama that the liberals will have to endure. But if you think about this particular story, it's fitting. The backdrop being the presidency of the United States, the most powerful nation on Earth with one of the most revered men to hold that office in the last 50 years.... with a worthless "feel good" sticker plastered over it.

Where's My Unicorn!

While normal Americans are debating and trying to figure out the Rape The Economy Act of 2009 to see how exactly this is going to fix the recession we're in, the Obamessiah is on a road trip to fool people into supporting what is becoming known around the blogosphere as "Porkulus" (I prefer my wording).

As The One descends into places like Elkhart Indiana and Fort Myers Florida, people are coming up demanding the government do something to help them with their unfortunate situations (they've been raised good by Big Daddy Government). One of the parasites came into the national spotlight was a middle aged woman named Henrietta Hughes who claims she has been living in her car with her family and needed help from Chairman Zero.



Did you see the woman at the last few seconds of the clip? Mouthing "I love you, Barack!" This is Obamunism at its worse! Not only are these freaks looking for a handout (and as Michelle Malkin has uncovered, she's been dependent on Big Daddy Gub'mint for a while now), here we go with the Beatlemania like fawning.

But I digress, we as Americans need to latch onto being more responsible for ourselves and our families instead of thinking Big Daddy Government is always going to give out an allowance and let you borrow the keys to the car on Friday night. Otherwise, our children and our grandchildren will have to carry on the burden of our reliance for taxpayer monies.

Obamagasms are real

From reading this article over at Moonbattery, it makes me think that truth is stranger than fiction. When we made fun of PMSNBC newstwit Chris Matthews exclaiming after an Obama speech "I got a thrill up my leg", it was just in good fun saying Tweety Bird was having an "obamagasm". Turns out it's sadly true!

Many women — not too surprisingly — were dreaming about sex with the president. In these dreams, the women replaced Michelle with greater or lesser guilt or, in the case of a 62-year-old woman in North Florida, whose dream was reported to me by her daughter, found a fully above-board solution: “Michelle had divorced Barack because he had become ‘too much of a star.’ He then married my mother, who was oh so proud to be the first lady,” the daughter wrote me.

There was some daydreaming too, much of it a collective fantasy about the still-hot Obama marriage. “Barack and Michelle Obama look like they have sex. They look like they like having sex,” a Los Angeles woman wrote to me, summing up the comments of many. “Often. With each other. These days when the sexless marriage is such a big celebrity in America (and when first couples are icons of rigid propriety), that’s one interesting mental drama.”

The Antidote To Palin Derangement Syndrome

A fellow blogger Nunya is doing a coloring contest in response to an ad that was placed by mildly attractive actress/leftist nutjob Ashley Judd (read: Trashley Juggs) accusing Alaska's governor and current 2012 presidential hopeful Sarah Palin of mass killing wolves by helicopter in the north. (Check out IMAO for the origination of it all.)

Apparently the poor little overpopulated wolves that are endangering the caribou population in Alaska is sobworthy but a human baby getting a pair of forceps in it's skull and vacuumed out is not to this brainless wonder.

Here is my contribution. Granted, the hippy blood looks more pink, but that's only because hippies do not bleed red blood like you and me. It's more like Jello and the stuff inside Junior Mints.

The Obama Rape The Economy Act of 2009

Since 60 million morons voted for this Jimmy 'Tarder retread "Ohh! But he's shiny and clean! Must have! CHAAAAANGGGGEEEE" now a lot of the voters who put this socialist in office are saying "DO NOT WANT!" Why? Because they entrusted him with our money. They knew he was planning a "stimulus", and they thought they'd get a handout. Like the 2nd grade class president who promises free ice cream to all her classmates. but as Mitt Romney eloquently put it, it's a "government stimulus".

This is what you are getting by voting for Chairman Zero. Below is an idea of what these loons think will help the private sector. Notice how many items are basically an expansion of government.

$2 billion earmark to re-start FutureGen, a near-zero emissions coal power plant in Illinois that the Department of Energy defunded last year because it said the project was inefficient.

• A $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers to buy motion picture film.

• $650 million for the digital television converter box coupon program.

• $88 million for the Coast Guard to design a new polar icebreaker (arctic ship).

• $448 million for constructing the Department of Homeland Security headquarters.

• $248 million for furniture at the new Homeland Security headquarters.

• $600 million to buy hybrid vehicles for federal employees.

• $400 million for the Centers for Disease Control to screen and prevent STD’s.

• $1.4 billion for rural waste disposal programs.

• $125 million for the Washington sewer system.

• $150 million for Smithsonian museum facilities.

• $1 billion for the 2010 Census, which has a projected cost overrun of $3 billion.

• $75 million for "smoking cessation activities."

• $200 million for public computer centers at community colleges.

• $75 million for salaries of employees at the FBI.

• $25 million for tribal alcohol and substance abuse reduction.

• $500 million for flood reduction projects on the Mississippi River.

• $10 million to inspect canals in urban areas.

• $6 billion to turn federal buildings into "green" buildings.

• $500 million for state and local fire stations.

• $650 million for wildland fire management on forest service lands.

• $1.2 billion for "youth activities," including youth summer job programs.

• $88 million for renovating the headquarters of the Public Health Service.

• $412 million for CDC buildings and property.

• $500 million for building and repairing National Institutes of Health facilities in Bethesda, Maryland.

• $160 million for "paid volunteers" at the Corporation for National and Community Service.

• $5.5 million for "energy efficiency initiatives" at the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration.

• $850 million for Amtrak.

• $100 million for reducing the hazard of lead-based paint.

• $75 million to construct a "security training" facility for State Department Security officers when they can be trained at existing facilities of other agencies.

• $110 million to the Farm Service Agency to upgrade computer systems.

• $200 million in funding for the lease of alternative energy vehicles for use on military installations.

A better way to stimulate the economy if they want to hand out the money would be to give every man, woman, and child in America $2,300 and WE spend it the way we want! But no.. because Big Daddy Government knows what's best for you, and you better take it and like it otherwise they'll send you to your room without supper because we have to help the 500 million unemployed Americans.


Pass this around, call your Senator (I'll be doing so even though I live in the land of Little Dick Durbin and Obama's replacement), and tell them that they will not have your vote next time if they pass this sham.

Obama Youth - Sing For Dear Leader?

Anybody recall this before the election? Of course, this is the indoctrination anthem dubbed over what the Obama Youth would have looked like 65 years ago....



Listen to the lyrics as you think of the Rape The Economy Act of 2009 they are planning to pass.

The SCHIP hits the fan - Obamunism is on the way!

With Obama passing the SCHIP (read SHIT: Socialist Health Insurance Travesty) bill that makes the working poor and middle class subsidize those who make more so they can get off their OWN health insurance and suck off Obama's teat? Here's the scary part: This is just THE BEGINNING. As per Chairman Zero's own words:

"We fulfill one of the highest responsibilities that we have, to ensure the health and well-being of our nation's children," the president said before a cheering audience of families, lawmakers and interest groups. "Providing coverage to 11 million children is a downpayment on my commitment to cover every single American."

So in order to raise the money for the socialistic medicine (and there's more to come that'll make the UK's National Health look competent) they are going to tax smokers an extra 62 cents to pay for the 2 million per American child, so it'll pay for itself, right? In one way, this is stupid. Having people exercise bad behavior to their health in order to gain the funds for the kids' healthcare? "Surgeon General's Warning: Quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risks to your health, but smoke up since we need to pay for little Timmy's tonsillitis!" They just need to find 22.4 million more smokers by 2012 to pay for this (Has Obama pledged to light up more Newports?).

This is just the beginning. We will see more stupid bills go through, more taxes being raised, losing more and more of our liberty, but HEY! It's OBAMA! He's HISTORIC! Yeah, he's historic alright. I never thought they'd find a president worse than Carter, but somehow they did it. But we will pay for it, along with our children, and our grandchildren once Obama rapes the economy and enacts a socialist utopia and we become (to quote Mark Levin) America with a K.

Obama dozed, people froze!

Remember all the grief Bush got over Katrina even though the Chocolate Mayor and the rest of the state officials did virtually nothing? Well, this from Fox news about the Kentucky ice storm that's left forty dead and 45 million dollars in damage:

Kentucky's governor will ask President Barack Obama on Monday to speed up federal aid dollars as costs spiral past $45 million for emergency work to restore power, hand out water and food and clear debris across the state hit hard by an icy winter storm last week.

Obama signed federal emergency declarations last week for Kentucky, Arkansas and Missouri after ice and snow blamed for more than 40 deaths in nine states and for power outages that peaked at 1.3 million customers from the Southern Plains to the East Coast.

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear said he will ask the president to upgrade the federal response by declaring a major disaster, which would open the door for immediate financial assistance. The current disaster declaration provides for federal assistance with material, such as generators and bottled water being distributed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Can we now say "Obama doesn't care about white people"? And I sure haven't seen any reports about Sean Penn coming in on a dog sled saving people this time.

Obama: Making friends around the world

Remember how the leftists all cried during the 8 years of W "The world hates us!" Well, that may have been but as long as they feared the United States and didn't try anything stupid, it was perfect. Obama however, has decided to adopt a new kind of diplomacy. Forget "Speak softly and carry a big stick" ala Teddy Roosevelt, Obama's foreign policy derives of "piss on yourself and get in the fetal position". America's enemies know full well when they deal with a big foreign policy pussy. Just look at the Iranians and the contrast between Carter and Reagan. But here are several stories of B. Hussein being "tested":


North Korea

North Korea announced Friday that all agreements between it and South Korea had become "dead documents" in an apparent bid to refocus Seoul and Washington's attention on Pyongyang.

The Associated Press reports that on Friday, Pyongyang accused South Korean President Lee Myung Bak of worsening relations between the two Koreas by adopting a hard-line position against the North.

[The North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea] warned that Lee's stance would only draw "a heavier blow and shameful destruction."

Yahoo

Iran

US President Barack Obama's offer to talk to Iran shows that America's policy of "domination" has failed, the government spokesman said on Saturday.

"This request means Western ideology has become passive, that capitalist thought and the system of domination have failed," Gholam Hossein Elham was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.

"Negotiation is secondary, the main issue is that there is no way but for (the United States) to change," he added.

After nearly three decades of severed ties, Obama said shortly after taking office this month that he is willing to extend a diplomatic hand to Tehran if the Islamic republic is ready to "unclench its fist".

In response, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad launched a fresh tirade against the United States, demanding an apology for its "crimes" against Iran and saying he expected "deep and fundamental" change from Obama.

Obama's poll numbers competing with stock market drop

Browsing through the interwebs this morning, I came across on this story from The UK Daily Mail:

After less than a week in office, Barack Obama's approval rating plunges 15 points

Barack Obama might have been in office for less than a week, but the euphoria is beginning to wane.

The new President's approval ratings have fallen from a stratospheric 83 per cent to a more modest - although still impressive - 68 per cent.

Washington analysts said the scale of the drop in the Gallup poll underlines the immense challenges Mr Obama faces in trying to turn round the U.S.'s battered fortunes.

And just to think that usually the polls are stacked with would be Obama worshipers. Very telling here. Even George H.W. Bush enjoyed 89% approval ratings and in less than a year got the boot from the electorate.

I guess when ya promise cute fuzzy unicorns and rainbow gumdrops falling from the skies and don't come through, the polls start to go down faster than a chubby Jewish intern in the Clinton White House.

A YouTube Answer: Do You Hope Obama Succeeds?

"I hope Obama is successful when it comes to changing his mind on shoving the 2nd Amendment into a bear trap". Just one of the best lines from the vid. For those of you who haven't seen "Zo's" videos, check out his page on YouTube. The guy should have his own radio show.

Even Al-Queda loves change!

One of The Big Zero's main campaign promises that he actually made good on was the closing of Club Gitmo. What could go wrong with that? Well, here's an example.

Two ex-Guantanamo inmates appear in Al-Qaeda video
WASHINGTON (AFP) — Two men released from the US "war on terror" prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have appeared in a video posted on a jihadist website, the SITE monitoring service reported.

One of the two former inmates, a Saudi man identified as Abu Sufyan al-Azdi al-Shahri, or prisoner number 372, has been elevated to the senior ranks of Al-Qaeda in Yemen, a US counter-terrorism official told AFP.

Three other men appear in the video, including Abu al-Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi, identified as an Al-Qaeda field commander. SITE later said he was prisoner No. 333…

On the video, al-Shihri is seen sitting with three other men before a flag of the Islamic State of Iraq, the front for Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

"By Allah, imprisonment only increased our persistence in our principles for which we went out, did jihad for, and were imprisoned for," al-Shihri was quoted as saying…

Maybe Obama's right about closing down Gitmo, but how about only after dropping a neutron bomb on it after having our soldiers evacuate? But I'm guessing they'll just release these pieces of cockroach excrement and as (surprisingly) Matt Lauer said we'd have a bunch of "international Willie Hortons".

Biting The Hand That Feeds

After the media's love affair with Obama got him elected to the highest in the free world, now it's a bit different. This is another tidbit from Newsbusters

On January 22 the Associated Press posted an interesting little tidbit of news about how Team Obama is treating the press. Apparently, the Obama White House is trying to force news agencies to use Obama's own, special, ostensibly "official" photographer's photos taken at Obama press conferences instead of allowing news agencies to have their own photogs present to record the event. As a result of this attempt by Obama to control his image, the AP and Reuters are a bit miffed that Obama is trying to control the press with such an iron fisted move like this.

All I have to ask is: NOW they get worried that Obama is not too dedicated to freedom of the press? After Obama is fairly elected, NOW the Old Media is beginning to question The One on his treatment of them?

Not to mention Obama is only going to let a select few of media bootlickers to have access to him. All other White House press need not raise their hands.

I guess they are questioning all those halo pics they took of them during the campaign. Seems like the honeymoon is soon to be over after the MSM made Obama what he is today. There's "transparency" and "an open government" for you.

Stock Market To Obama: You Suck

Just think if this is what the market looks like during just The Obamessiah's Immaculate Inauguration, imagine what it'll be like when Obama actually DOES something? "You want 50 shares of Microsoft? That'll be two paper clips and a ball of lint, please."

And also to add, now on Drudge, they have a big picture of this on the front page of the aftermath from yesterday's events:



Guess where the American flags they were handing out went?

Bush Bids Farewell With Secret Note To Obama

From Fox News:

Keeping with a White House ritual, Bush left a note for Obama in his desk in the Oval Office, wishing him well as he takes the reins of power.

"I won't provide any details, but the theme is similar to what he's said since election night about the fabulous new chapter President-elect Obama is about to start, and that he wishes him the very best," outgoing White House press secretary Dana Perino said Tuesday.

Actually, anonymous sources in the Obama administration have leaked out the "secret" note from the retired president.

Dear Barry,

I'm pretty sure the desk will be fine for you - it was for me!

I left you most of a box of Kleenex, just inside the small table behind the desk.

You'll need it to wipe up the tears of a shattered nation once you begin to realize that the job is WAAAAAY bigger than you are.

Good luck! You'll need it!

Advice For Obama

For all the psudeo-conservatives and even those conservatives I admire kissing ass to Obama about how we should "want him to succeed", I thought I'd share some advice with the new president on what to do to succeed.

* No matter how much he looks like he needs one, never give a murderous dictator a hug.

* If you bomb enough of a country’s infrastructure, including fossil fuel burning power plants and factories, war can actually be carbon neutral.

* If you don’t like a government policy, don’t march down a street shouting about while burning an American flag; just go ahead and change the policy.

* Protesting troops as baby-killers is considered a faux pas when you’re the commander in chief.

* As easy as 100% taxation would make things for funding your programs, most economists agree you have to let people keep at least some money.

* You may love peace, but if an enemy country actually invades the U.S., people are going to expect you to respond militarily even if you personally think that would be an overreaction.

* If the American people turn against your policies, don’t just shout, “I know better than you, you inbred, sky fairy-worshiping hillbillies!” That hardly ever helps.

* No matter how smart actors may seem, they really aren’t the best foreign policy advisers.

* It would be great to capture Osama bin Laden, but giving him a plea bargain so he’ll testify against the real terrorist, George W. Bush, probably won’t go over as well as you expect.

* Just because some more foreign countries may like us doesn’t mean they’ll actually be anymore useful.

* No matter how sure you are that conservatives are evil and just like Nazis, you can’t round them up into camps.

* Blaming Bush for problems is going to be harder the longer it’s been since he was in office; you’ll eventually have to find a new scapegoat. The Jews tend to be the popular choice.

* Though you probably want to reduce military engagements, you’ll actually have to expand war to all parts of the globe if you don’t want the military’s enemy body count to look racist.

God Goes Medieval On Al-Queda

Since the bloodthirsty savages in Al-Queda are mentally living in the 14th century, it's only fitting that they share the same plague. From The UK Sun:

Anti-terror bosses last night hailed their latest ally in the war on terror — the BLACK DEATH.

At least 40 al-Qaeda fanatics died horribly after being struck down with the disease that devastated Europe in the Middle Ages.

Since the Black Death spread across Europe in the Middle Ages and decimated anywhere between 25 to 50 million people, maybe the hand of God is working here to help our troops by offing these bass ackwards mongrels in the worst way. Gotta wonder about that.

Change...Coming To A Theater Near You

More Obamamania here. According to The Hollywood Report, MSNBC (and they say there's no liberal media) has brokered a deal for Obamunists, if they can get out of their parents' basements for the day, to see The Big Zero's inauguration on the big screen.

Obama inauguration to air in theaters
MSNBC pact puts coverage in 27 U.S. locations

By Paul J. Gough

Jan 12, 2009, 07:15 PM ET

President-elect Barack Obama is on his way to the big screen, thanks to a deal between MSNBC and Screenvision that will put the news channel's inaugural coverage in 27 theaters around the country.

Free tickets are being handed out via MSNBC.com to see the inauguration and parade from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. ET at the 27 theaters run by 11 exhibitor partners in 21 markets. Midday Tuesday isn't necessarily a big movie time, so it helps to fill the theater -- and boost popcorn and soda sales -- at a time when it's not usually busy.

That means that Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and other MSNBC and NBC personalities will play the big movie screen in addition to the usual MSNBC cable and satellite stream. MSNBC won't be in high-definition until the second quarter, but both the channel and Screenvision say the quality will still be high.

"It'll look great," MSNBC president Phil Griffin said. "We're thrilled about it."

Would they have done the same for Juan McLame had he got elected? I think not. Like Ann Coulter said brilliantly in her new book (and if you haven't got it yet, do so), "the media wants to screw Obama, only in the sense they want to have sex with him."
